Yours and Mines

Featured AinaBalagtas11 Comments

One of
the toughest ironies
of life:
All that breathe
are timed,
including
You and I.

And that
everything within,
may either wilt
or turn to ash–
except,
yours and mine.

For though
our bodies
may turn to dusts,
there’d be another
two hearts
beating for each other;
two souls
so deeply entwined
just as
You and I.

The Very Essence of a Man

Featured AinaBalagtas13 Comments

The very essence of a man,
is to build
and keep a roof
over his
and his family’s heads-
with all his might;
and, with all his strength.

And to have
in his arms:

. . . a woman,
who
is respectful enough
to follow his lead
into a world
of their own.

. . . a woman,
who
is trusting enough
to hold his hand
until their bodies repose.

. . . a woman,
who
is faithful enough
to believe him,
when he says,
“You are my home.”
